2 oz. cornflour. [ 1 oz. butter. 1 pt. milk. 1 \ oz. sugar, j A little flavouring. Rinse out a small stewpan with cold water, put 3 gills of the milk into it, and make it warm over the fire. Put the cornflour into a basin, and add the remainder of the milk gradually to it, mixing well with a wooden spoon until quite smooth. Add’ this to the milk in the saucepan, and stir over the fire until boiling. Boil until the cornflour is thoroughly cooked, then add the sugar, butter, and any flavouring that is liked. Mix well, and pour while hot into a mould that has been rinsed out with cold water. Set aside until cold. When wanted, turn out on a glass or china dish, and serve jam, stewed fruit, or cream with it. Notes. — The butter may be omitted if a plainer mould is wanted. If vanilla pod or bay-leaf is used for flavouring, this should be infused for a short time in the milk, and lifted out before the cornflour is added. Arrowroot, flour, ol rice, or farola mould may be made in the same way, sub- stituting one of these for the cornflour. Time to cook, 10 to 15 minutes. Sufficient for 3 or 4 persons.
